Presentation Topics

Chet offers several presentation topics to choose from when you bring him in to speak at your event.  As a professional motivational speaker, Chet understands and loves to be able to tailor each message to the tone of your event.  Please read below, and Contact Chet if any of these presentations would meet your needs.

• I’m Not Broken – (based on Chet’s new book due out in 2009) This presentation focuses on why so many people think it is okay to sit on the sidelines and watch life go by.  Chet certainly has a reason to avoid challenges and could take the easy way through life, leaning on his disability.  He has never once, nor will he ever choose the easy way, and this talk challenges listeners to live their dreams by just telling themselves, “If Chet can do it, so can I!” — This presentation is recommended for corporate, educational and other motivational settings. 
• The Smile Experiment – This presentation focuses on a scary statistic.  The majority of Americans will not smile back when “smiled at.”  They simply choose to not make eye contact, look at the ground, or give a silly head nod instead of letting people into their lives by smiling.  Chet believes a smile is contagious, and believes that by smiling and performing random acts of kindness, we can change the world.  Chet will challenge your attendees to smile for an entire day…a harder task than your attendees might think! – This presentation is recommend for educational settings and other socially uplifting events. 
• SPECIAL PRESENTATION – All He Needs for Heaven – This presentation is Chet’s favorite to give as it involves his father, Dr. Jim McDoniel joining him for a special look into the life of a family with a handicapped child.  Dr. Jim McDoniel begins the presentation by telling the sad tale of the events of Chet’s birth, and throughout the presentation, the McDoniels tell stories and give life lessons that will inspire you to live life to the fullest.  This presentation is based on a book that Chet and his dad wrote, which is about to be printed in its 2nd edition.  Your members/attendees WILL BE BLESSED by this presentation.  – This presentation is recommended for churches, private schools, and any other Christian motivational setting such as Pro-Life organizations.  This talk is religious in nature and attempts to answer some theological questions as to why God is not to blame. 
• Not Perfect…But Worth It - This presentation explores the value of life and why the pro-life cause is so important to Chet.  After nearly dying at birth, Chet was allowed to die by the doctors responsible for delivering him.  Chet was given the normal suction and attention that most newborns get, and then he was laid in a crib in the corner of the room and “given an opportunity to prove he had the moxy to live.” Chet believes every life is important, and will inspire your attendees to rekindle their belief in the pro life cause. – This presentation is recommended for Pro-Life organizations, and makes for a great fund-raising banquet speech.
